It’s been awesome being over in France so far. The race environment is rich, the trails are solid, and my poop has never smelled like this. I blame it on the diet of cheese, bread, yogurt, wine, and did I mention cheese? Wow…

Also living with an Olympic athlete, Simi Hamilton, has been a real treat. I’ve never been so pleased to hear such a caliber of an athlete yell in his sleep, “I love it when you call me big papa”

We took a quick trip into Annecy before heading up to La Feclaz. Little did I know the bathrooms double as a shoe cleaner. Apparently the public bathrooms are sprayed down after each use. I didn’t know this and ended up with a half empty bladder and a wet pair of clogs.

“I’m finding it hard to call Presque Isle anything but Presquizzle.”

Presque Isle and Truckee are virtually identical.

Remembering Fake Faster Skier

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:48:00 -0400

As Junior Nationals Approach, it’s time to look back at the “Rules for Junior Nationals” from the (sadly) retired Fake Fasterskier. Email single rules for this year’s Presque Isle incarnation to johnnyklister@gmail.com

5. When your kid blames the alt., or the kick, or the soft snow, or their dry-hump bruises for why they skied like an ass-hat, refer to 4.

4. These are the most important races of your kids life. If they suck, they should just pack it in. They’ll never be a skiing success #fail

3. Some kid, from a state you didn’t even know had snow, is going to stomp on the hopes of your darling little Alaska Winter Star. 11:57 AM Mar 5th, 2009 via web

2a. You know that $ you gave your kid to buy an ugly-ass JO’s sweatshirt? Yeah. The Stratton kids are gonna fµ¢k¡πg take it. (See previous.) 11:56 AM Mar 5th, 200

2. The amount of time your kid spends learning to gamble will exceed the amount of time they actually spend skiing. 11:55 AM Mar 5th, 2009 via web

1. At the banquet, your precious J2 is going to learn all about the term “dry humping”. #lost-innocence

“I was really surprised and relieved when I gapped the pack. I had excellent, fast Salomon skis and was able to pull away more as I glided through Duffy’s Field on my superior Toko wax job.”

- Dussault, again, delicately inserting every sponsor possible into her quote.
